Labgear Universal Octo 8 Output LNB for SKY HD/Freesat HD TV KU Band Satellite Receiver with MK4 Bracket

5 minute install on an existing mk4 sky dish.It doesn’t show in the pictures but there is a slide-down weather shield thing which is what I was looking for. I don’t know if they all have that but I’m glad this one does.

Easy to fit very useful for recording on freesat recorder.

fairly priced , quick delivery and works well , great picture

This just worked flawlessly out of the box. Good strong high quality signal from all outputs; no stuttering or picture breakup at all.There’s a slight design flaw with the slide-down water shield for the cables; water can run down the body and get inside the sliding shield. I just ran a little SikaFlex EBT+ sealant around the sliding part’s top edge so all should be OK now.

I read several reviews describing the install process but was slightly unclear on how to unclip my exisiting sky Q LNB for this hybrid LNB. In my case I have a mark 3 sky dish and I have just cancelled my sky subscription which I will replace with a freesat box. I chose the hybrid so I can use sky until it runs out but also to future proof it in case I go back to sky.When deciding if you are going to do this yourself, or not, consider how easy it is to access your dish. Ours is low and could be reached with a strech on a short ladder.I looked at the signal strength and through the sky settings menus (signal 90/ quality90) before starting. I powered down the sky box, slid up the weather protector on the LNB and unscrewed the co-ax cables. I took several photos of the LNB, paying attention to the angle it was positioned with relation to the dish and arm. I had to unclip the tiny retainers at the bottom of the LNB in order to slide it off (with some force) and replaced with this new hybrid LNB replicating the angle of the old one. I reconnected to the wideband ports, slid the weather cover down and went up to power the box up. Signal strength remained good at 90/90 and the sky q box worked as normal. I tightened the screw on the LNB bracket and then switched over to freesat, changing the ports to two on the row of 4 (quad). Freesat picked up 122 channels and good quality signal.Simple and straightfoward. I was very worried I would move the dish and lose signal. Whilst the dish did wobble a bit as I took the lnb off it was well fixed and didn't displace with the signal unchanged.

All good thanks

Perfect done exactly what it was advertised to do perfect replacement

Purchased to use Freesat in (Bedrooms) along with Sky Q (in living room) easy to install remove old Sky Q LNB and switch to this one everything was working fine until about 2 months laterIt developed a fault causing Sky Q picture to be scrambled (mainly when using Freesat in another room) was retuned for a refund but buyer beware it only comes with 30 days warranty !Luckily I was given a refund but I had to fight the customer service rep at Amazon to do this so if your buying one keep this in mind
